My actual first YF-12

[busnproplinerfan]

I've been looking at this topic for some time and thought, I still have my first or one the first three models I made. This YF-12, always thought and called it an SR-71. I don't know what kit is is but it's quite small, about 6" long. It was gloss black until one day I painted a dull coat on it. This goes back to about '81. Hope this qualifies for the topic, I don't have time to build one of my firsts. That would have been the small B-58 kit with the ground set and the 1/72 Airfix B -24.

Cool. Is your plan to track down this kit and build it?

I would if I can find one. I don't know what kit is is.

Lindbergh? Reference here. Scale is 1/184 so 100-odd ft length would come out at around 7 inches?

That's it, the last issue of it. Thanks, so it's wrongly labeled on the box.  Looked around, none can be found right now. Yes, just over 7"

If I can find one before this topic runs out. Not going to rebuild this one, kind of a time capsule now.
